THE NATIONS SCAPITAL.
Democratic Senate Caucus.
The Tariff Constantly Discussed by the
Incoming Statesmen.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 2.
Revenue reduction is about the only topic
as to prospective legi- lation discussed
BY the incoming statesmen. Even the Pres
idental contest, only few months Off the
fight over the location for the nominating
conventions only a few days hence, the
scramble for the House offices---none of
these overshadow the question of revenue
reduction. Everybody seems to be thor
oughv awake on this subject. Even the
most doubtful are beginning to admit that
perhaps there is to be a tariff measure after
all and it will be as much of an internal
reducer as tariff reducer. There is a dispo-
sition all round, apparently, to be conserva-
tive. Mr.. Carlisle sees the bad effect of
letting into print the remarks attributed to
him last week, and so he is omitting any
more of them. The voices on both sides
now wear a forceful but determined tone.
A compromise measure, with the tobacco
tax removal and general tariff. revision is
now generally agreed the only practicable
and probable solution of the vexed question
At a caucus of democratic senators today
an informal report of the committee was
submitted respecting the admission of sena
tors Faulkner of West Virginia, and Turpie
of Indiana. The matter was discussed at
length. As several members of the caucus
were absent, no line of action was sketched.
The democrats have sent kilograms to alb
sentees summoning them to be present to-
morrow and Monday.
Secretary Fairchild has completed his an
nual report The final pages were placed
in the hands of the printers today.
The Presidents message will be sent to
Congress Tuesday.

Amusements.


We take the following criticisms Of this
great actress, who is soon to visit us, from
the New York Herald
For twenty years Madame JaDauscbek has
reiyned in the esteem of the intelligent public
the first actress of our time in the high walk
of the profession which she has made her own.
She has unquestionably exercised greater
influence on the progress of the drama in this
country during her career than any other
woman, we'll known as she is throughout the
length and breadth of the land and producing
a profound impression wherever she has ap-
peared. To this faithful and conscientious
artist both the theatre and the public are
much indebted and her name will ever be
held in honor among the numbers of those
who have labored to make the drama to sub
serve its true purpose as helpful agent in
the promotion of liberal education. In her
conception and rendition of the character of
Meg Merrilies, Janauschek displays the in
telligence, the knowledge Of human nature,
and the rare ability to present graphic IL
lustration of a strong personality.
STREETS OF NEW YORK.
Those who failed to see the rendering OF
this famous sensational drama by the StaI
Theatre Company last evening missed atreat
But it must be confessed that on a stage
which admits Of no adaptation Of scenery
the best acting in the world would fail to d.
justice To the play.

THE GOSPEL MEETINGS.
BIBLE READING.

The part of the parable of the sower in
dicated by the soil, was the subject of the
reading yesterday afternoon. The "soil" is
the hearts of men. The life is in the seed,
and not in the soil. Eternal life is not de-
veloped in human nature, but is implanted
in the nature by the seed, the heavenly prin-
ciple. You may cultivate soil all you please.
yet without seed there can be no harvest.
Human nature cannot be cultivated into
fruitage. The seed must go into the soil,
the heart. The four kinds of hearers were
considered the .wayside hearer," s'the
stony ground hearer," 1.-THE thorny ground
hearer," and "the good ground hearer.
The reading was especially rich in its spirit
ual suggestiveness.

All acknowledge and understand the impor-
lance of a good foundation in all depart
ments of life. In education, in business, in
all kinds of structures, there must needs be
. good foundation in order for security and
success. In the building Of character there
is no other foundation that can be substituted

Mn Fellows.

Mr.. FELLOWS was born in Arkansas,
and, therefore, was not O northern man
in the southern army, as paragraph in
our issue Of yesterday seemed rather to
imply.
Whilst speaking of Mr.. FELLOWS, we
will quote thoughtful paragraph or
two in regard to him from the Charles
ton NewS and Courier. That paper
says:
1.-THE triumphant election of Colonel
John II. Fellows in New York is evil
dence enough that a campaign Of abuse
is not likely to be popular in the pres
ent temper Of the public.
"Iime was when the circulation Of
discreditable stories concerning a candi-
date for public Office would insure his
defeat. Those who doubted the entire
truth of the stories would insist that
where there was so much smoke there
must be some fire. There was, at all
events, stain upon the record Of
the candidate, and he was beaten.
Probably the explanation of such q
result as that which is seen in New York
is that the public are far more in the
habit OF thinking for themselves and
Judging for themselves than they used
10 be. They evidently had on their
thinking caps in New York. Despite
what was said, they were satisfied that
Colonel Fellows is as honest as he is
capable, and all the newspapers in the
country could not have changed their
purpose. There was also, no doubt, an
element OF indignation because the
fight against him was anything but fair"

truth OF history, lest we may say
something to injure the Democratic
partyi Is IL not sufficient that we
have been stripped Of our property aud
of many things far dearer to us than
property can ever be? Must We also
consent to sink into abysses OF silence
our good name? Must we keep our
peace unless we be prepared to kiss the
hand that smites us and to place our
selves in the rank of trucking hypo-
critics ? Must our children grow up
around ms, hearing at the home fresde
the story of the past, and realizing that
their fathers dare not repeat it in the

school in which to train them for the
manful discharge of the grand duties

Of which must forever remain like a

not simply from the Union of my fathers,
but from my own native State, SO dear

Vlrpinia'S EaVOrite.

Naturally the State turned its atten-
ton yesterday to the national contest Of
next year. Its article closes with the
following significant paragraph:
"The man who can surely carry Vir-
ginia in 1883 is the man who carried it in
1885, and whose personal popularity
with the people of Virginia has been
rarely equalled by any public man in its
history. That man is Fitzhugh Lee"
Two Democrats called upon us a week
or two ago from the Republican State of
Kansas-one Of them q member at large
OF the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, and the other an editor-who
told us that there was one man in the
South for whom the northern people
would vote for Vice-P President of the
United States, and that that one man
was F1TzHUGH LEE. We add that his
popularity in the North is not new
thing. When he went TO Massachusetts,
many years ago at the same time
with the Richmond Knights TEN
plars, he, not member of the
order himself, attracted universal at
tention and called forth demonstrations
Of his popularity. When he rode in the
procession in Washington in March,
1885, he received similar testimonials to
his popularity. II there is any man in
the South whom it would be good policy
for the Democrats TO nominate for Vice
President OF the United States it is our
| Governor,
